fahd Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Believe it or not, after 2 or 3 minutes my apps get starting in mandriva 2007 under KDE. So when I see the process table everything seems to be ok(start_kdeinit, kwin, kdeinit, ..etc). My motherboard is ASUS(intel 865 chipset). I think this flaw is a video controller-related. Please help hoe to solve this problem. Thanks a lot. Fahd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehl Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I'm afraid I do not quite understand your problem - are you saying that it takes 2-3 minutes to start applications? Please, clarify your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, clarify your problem. I run for instance openoffice write which begins running after a while(approx. 2 or 3 minutes). Thanks.

ianw1974 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 What's the specs of your machine? On my laptop - Celeron 1.8GHz, 512MB ram, it tends to open in 20 seconds. Can you post the output of this command from the console prompt: free also, can you post the results of: cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness and the contents of /etc/inittab as well. It could be that we can make some changes here to help free up some memory and make things a little more responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
